Multiple MLB Pitchers Progress Toward Return From Injury

The New York Yankees are seeing the return of Marcus Stroman from injury, despite his struggles during rehab and a challenging season marked by a high ERA and the team's offensive struggles. Stroman is expected to contribute as the Yankees continue to battle offensive woes amidst injuries to other key pitchers like Gerritt Cole and Luis Gil. Meanwhile, the Boston Red Sox have activated left-handed reliever Chris Murphy from the injured list after his recovery from Tommy John surgery, providing a boost to a bullpen that has been depleted by injuries to Luis Guerrero and Justin Slaten. Slaten, who has been sidelined with shoulder inflammation and nerve issues, has recently begun throwing again, signaling a potential return. On the Orioles' side, several pitchers including Kyle Bradish, Tyler Wells, and Grayson Rodriguez have made significant progress in their recovery from various injuries, with Bradish closest to facing live hitters. These developments across teams highlight ongoing challenges and hopeful returns for key pitchers amid injury-plagued seasons.
